GreatCall Samsung R100 (Discontinued)

Inconspicuous Senior Cell Phone

GreatCall Samsung R100 was an traditional-looking phone that lets you use GreatCall's senior-friendly cell phone services at a $60 savings over the price of the Jitterbug J and Plus phones. However, over the years, their flagship flip phone (the Jitterbug Flip) has slowly transformed into a more attractive device. So Greatcall no longer sells this device. However, I've kept the write-up below for reference purposes.

Basic yet Capable

The R100 is a more basic phone, but it is still has some useful features

Bluetooth

The R100 has Bluetooth capability so you can use a wireless hands-free headset.

Speakerphone

Even if you don't use a Bluetooth headset, you can rely on the hands-free speakerphone.

Access to GreatCall Services and Support

You can also sign up for Great Calls services such as Live Nurse service
and the 5star emergency service, the Check-In Call service, and
Medication Reminder services.

LiveNurse and 5Star

The LiveNurse
service give you access to trained nursing support via telephone 24
hours a day. You can also sign up for the 5Star emergency service which
includes the Live Nurse service.

Daily Check-In

Daily Check-In provides up to 6 daily calls to make sure you're okay. If
you need assistance, GreatCall automatically notifies the designated
contacts for you.

Medication Reminder

Medication Reminder give automated reminder calls to make sure you're up
to date on medications. You can also directly contact your pharmacy.

There are also more fun services like MyCalendar to help track of appointments or get-togethers.

While you can control all these services online, you can also
make use do it by phone. You still have access to GreatCall's friendly
customer support (free) and live operator (costs airtime).

North America-Based 24-hour Customer Support

GreatCall customer support really is (in my experience) friendly,
helpful and patient. The support reps are based in North America so it's
always easy to understand them.

For solving your problems however, they're great.

The only drawback is that they do try to gently nudge you into signing up for more of their services.

Does Not Look Like A Senior Cell Phone

The R100 doesn't have the famous large-buttons and extra loud speaker of the Jitterbug J phone. On the other hand, while the distinctive Jitterbug J is great, it is recognized as a Jitterbug phone by many people.

(Note: You can now get the Jitterbug Plus which still has large buttons but looks more like regular flip phone. You can even choose a smart phone.

The Samsung R100 looks like a regular compact cell phone making
it more inconspicuous. This may be an advantage if you don't want to
draw attention to your phone.

Whether you prefer the Jitterbug Plus or the R100, the easy-to-use GreatCall Phones are great. You get affordable plans, no contracts. There are also unlimited and share plans available.
